That Will Be 2009

So now we have come across to our impending doom. No, it is not Scott Baio and/or Gargamel (with that combination we will be doomed). It is an army that will obliterate us, or enslave us. That's right, the motherfucking robots.

Robots have been interpreted in stories for a long time. Going back in history, they range from modern forms (nanobot hives, artificial intelligence), to even, if you wanted to, mechanized golems (or other such inanimate objects possessed by an entity). Usually it is used to serve as a cautionary warning, allowing the reader to see what it is like to be on the opposing side of a nearly unstoppable force, one that has no ethics or weaknesses, often nothing short of total obliteration. It also often caused by human folly, the opening of a pandora's box (if you will).

In modern times, the stories of robotic takeover has increased. Most notable is the Terminator series, where out of human foolishness robots gained control of space and time. Shit. Other less known interpretations is the song "Citizens of Tomorrow," which warns the past of of the soon to come (oh shit) robotic enslavement of the human race. Soon we will all be robot slaves, and will explode from heart chips.

Which I wouldn't mind, compared to what Japan would do if it ruled everything.
